In the carriage, Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji were on the left and right, with a distance of two feet in between.
There is absolutely no sweet intimacy that a newlywed couple should have.
Today is August 15th, and it is also the day when Xu Chunjun returns from three dynasties.
Zheng Wuji concealed himself very well in front of the Xu family, just like the day he welcomed his bride.
People can neither see his playboy habits nor see that he is cold and distant towards Xu Chunjun.
Only when he was alone with Xu Chunjun did he put on a serious face and show a reluctant expression.
When he was like this, Xu Chunjun didn't take the initiative to talk to him and lowered his head slightly.
It was quiet and depressing inside the car, and the way back seemed particularly long.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted.
Xu Chunjun's head hit the wall, and she let out a soft cry from the pain.
Zheng Wuji's first reaction was to help her, but then he held back and clenched his fists tightly.
Xu Chunjun stretched out his hand and rubbed it, then glanced at Zheng Wuji.
Zheng Wuji turned his face away casually, not looking at her.
Xu Chunjun had his own plans in mind, and Zheng Wuji did not go to her room for three days in a row, resting at Liu's side.
Xu Chunjun concluded that he had a grudge against her, but when she returned to her parents' home this morning, she tentatively asked Zheng Wuji on the way.
Zheng Wuji sneered and said nothing, and finally said: "It was my aunt's wish to marry you. I didn't object at the time, and it's hard to say anything now. Just do it yourself!"
Xu Chunjun stopped there. She had many things to do when she married into the Zheng family.
Zheng Wuji's ignoring of her was not entirely a bad thing.
Instead, she was less restrained and finished the things that needed to be done.
After walking forward for a while, Zheng Wuji cleared his throat and spoke: "We are nominally husband and wife. Even if we can't be of the same mind, we still have to be consistent in appearance. Some things need to be explained clearly in advance, so I want to talk to you.
You make a three-part agreement."
"Husband, please tell me." Xu Chunjun really wanted to hear what arrangements he could make.
But Zheng Wuji was stunned for a moment because of her words about husband. Everyone in his family called him uncle, and Xu Chunjun also called him the same in front of others.
But when they were alone, Xu Chunjun called him this.
Originally, this girl was no different from other girls, but Zheng Wuji's heart was still confused for a moment.
"I only have three requests for you. First, please leave me alone. Whether I am eating, drinking, having fun, or staying up late at night, you must not interfere with me at all.
Second, you must be filial to the old lady. You are now the daughter-in-law of our Zheng family, and this is your duty.
Third, you must be strict with your words. You are not allowed to complain to your elders, let alone talk about what happened between you and me to outsiders. Did you hear that?"
"Yeah." Xu Chunjun nodded.
Zheng Wuji stopped talking, but felt even more depressed.
Xu Chunjun had such an attitude, he seemed to be obedient and extremely docile.
In fact, it's because I hate myself that I don't cry or make trouble, and I feel calm and calm.
The two returned to Zheng's house and paid their respects to the old lady Jin and his wife Fang.
Mrs. Tai asked Xu Chunjun: "How are your family members? Has your third aunt gone back today?"
"Thanks to the old lady, everything is fine! My third aunt didn't go back because she was about to give birth." Xu Chunjun replied with a smile.
"But, I just told your mother-in-law that we have to prepare the gifts, so we can't neglect it." The wife is seventy years old, but she is not deaf or blind, but her legs and feet are not very flexible.
Zheng Wuji's mother, Fang, took over and said: "In addition to their third aunt, there is also an aunt from the in-laws who is about to give birth. I asked Mama Gu and the others to get ready!"
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for thinking about me." Although she had only been married for three days, Xu Chunjun could see that her mother-in-law was not good at running the house and left everything to the maids and mothers-in-law around her.
She prefers to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, and she is very pious every day.
"You two are tired too, go back and have a rest! Come over in the evening and let's enjoy the moon together." Mrs. Fang looked at her son lovingly. People said that this man would become more stable after he got married, and her son must be no exception.
Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji left the old lady's room. Zheng Wuji didn't even change his clothes, so he asked the servant to lead the horse and go out.
Every year on August 15th, Tihu Zuilou will serve steamed crabs that are full of fat and meat, paired with aged flower carvings. It is a must-eat delicacy in autumn. If you miss the season, you will no longer have it.
Take advantage of the wine fun to go to Baoyuan Bureau to gamble a few times, and go home after dark without delaying the moon viewing.
Xu Chunjun went back to his room, changed into homely clothes, and took a nap.
Not long after I got up, the little girl Juaner walked in and said to Xu Chunjun: "Grandma, Aunt Liu is here and she wants to talk to you."
Lvyan couldn't help but roll her eyelids. She hated Aunt Liu at the first sight.
"Let her come in." Xu Chunjun said.
After a while, Aunt Liu came in awkwardly.
She wore a dark green coat on her upper body and a tea-smoked skirt on her lower body. Her hair was combed sideways and she had a step rocker inserted at an angle.
"Grandma is back, is everything going well at home?" Liu Xixi smiled with a smile on her face and looked at Xu Chunjun's dressing and clothes without revealing anything.
"Sit down!" Xu Chunjun happily gave up his seat and said to the little girl beside him, "Go and make tea for Aunt Liu."
"Grandma's complexion is so good," Aunt Liu's mouth looked like it was smeared with honey. "It looks like the camellias sent as tribute from the South Dian Kingdom. It's not like me, who has a yellow face."
Xu Chunjun just smiled and said nothing. She had not determined Aunt Liu's pulse yet, so she was not in a hurry to take action.
"Grandma must have read a lot of books, right?" Aunt Liu asked again.
"It's not too much, I just know a few words." Xu Chunjun took a sip of tea and slowly put down the tea cup.
"Grandma's life is so good. She was born into a rich and scholarly family." Aunt Liu sighed with envy, "Compared with you, we are like heaven and earth."
"Aunt Liu is not a native of the capital, right?" Xu Chunjun asked her.
"My hometown was hit by a disaster a few years ago and I came here to escape." The smile on Aunt Liu's face softened a lot, as if she was remembering the days of wandering around. "My parents both died of illness on the way to escape. I fled here with my relatives.
Thank you for meeting our uncle."
"Don't just talk, try this tea." Xu Chunjun said kindly.
Aunt Liu took a sip, saw that there was no displeasure on Xu Chunjun's face, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I am here to apologize to Grandma. You are the master and I am the servant. I have done something wrong.
You can hit me or scold me."
"What you said is serious. You are asking for forgiveness but not asking for forgiveness." Xu Chunjun smiled, as if he didn't care at all.
"The uncle has been with me these days. In fact, I have repeatedly persuaded him to come over." Aunt Liu said, "I don't know what's wrong with the uncle. In fact, he didn't often stay in my room in the past..."
"Aunt Liu, is this what you should say to our girl?" Zi Ling interrupted her from the side.
"Hey, sister Ziling, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else." Aunt Liu quickly explained, "I'm not afraid that grandma will misunderstand me!"
"Have our girls ever blamed you?" Zi Ling asked her, "You are so disgusting that you think our girls are easy to bully?!"
